Sheldon, Author,
Seriously III in Topeka
Topka. (UP)—Dr. Charles M. Sheldon, famous Congregational minister and author of "In His Steps," remained unconscious today in a hospital here.
Condition of the 89-year-old minister was regarded as dangerous following cerebral hemorrhages yesterday. Dr. Sheldon had been confined to his home after a fall on the steps of a public building here for some time before he became critically ill.
(One of Dr. Shedon's feats many years ago was the editing of the Topeka Daily Capital for a week "as Jesus Christ would have edited it." Dr. Sheldon has spoken to convocations at K.U., where the Journalism school owns files of the Topeka paper the minister edited.
Telephone Strike Apparently Settled
Philadelphia. (UP)—Settlement of a strike of 800 long lines operators and office workers here of the American Telephone and Telegraph Co., which threatened to develop into a nationwide walkout, was announced today following a meeting of federal conciliators and union and company representatives.
Chicago. (UP)—The arms of a child believed to be Suzanne Degran, 6, who was kidnapped and killed here Jan. 7, were found today in the conduit of an electrical company near her parents' northside home.
Washington. (UP)—President Truhan kept the capital guessing today about his choice of a new secretary of interior but speculation was rapidly narrowing down to three candidates.
Informed sources gave top billing to Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas and Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney, as most likely successors to Harold L. Ickes. Oscar L. Chapman, acting interior secretary, was regarded a close third.
Reds Training More Troops, Chinese Say
Chungking. (UP)—Wel-informed government sources said today there were indications that the Red army was training Japanese troops in Manchuria, northern Korea, Sakhalin, and the Kuriles for possible future use.
There was no sign, these sources said, that Russia planned to repatriate Japanese troops from those areas occupied by Soviet Far Eastern forces.
Washington (UP)—Chairman John S. Wood, of the house Unamerican Activities committee said today that the FBI is "in the thick of" the investigation of a spy ring originally revealed by the Canadian government.
Oklahoma City. (UP)—A freak windstorm that struck near here late yesterday lifted a cow over a fence and set her down without injury.
A Walk Negotiators admitted they were getting nowhere in daily arguments over the original issues that caused the walkout of 175,000 CIO United Auto Workers last Nov. 21.
The cow was tied in the barn. The barn itself was blown against a steel wire fence and destroyed. Afterward the cow was found on the other side of the fence—still tied to the plank to which she had been tethered inside the barn.
Detroit. (UP)—Progress toward an agreement to end the three-month-old General Motors strike slowed to a walk today.

"I need a 50 cc. beaker, George, and a bottle of HCl," a baritone voice sounded through the window of the chemistry storeroom.
Makeup Exams March 9
The council roll has been riddled by the resignations or departure from school of 14 of its 30 members during the past semester. Only five of the
"I just broke a flask, George," piped a freshman girl. "May I have another?"
That makes 5,002—5,003, George thought, trying to count the number of faces he had seen through the window until finally the figure reached such vast proportions that he gave up. through the year, some now grand
tittened.
George began his work for the University in 1891, in the building which now houses the journalism department. Since then, his black rubber apron, white jacket, and striped cap became familiar to the thousands of students he served
through the year, some now grandmothers and grandfathers of today's students.
"In all the years that I was here, I saw no great change in the students," George says. "They may be a little younger. But there are some students who naturally have strong personalities and they just demand service with a smile."
George, as he was known to his students, recently retired as head of the storeroom. He always served a smile with his keys, chemicals, and apparatus. He could handle hundreds of students specially because of the systematic arrangement he kept of records and files and ceiling-high shelves neatly labeled and partitioned.
It's a pleasure to serve them, always was the motto of George R. King, who for more than 54 years aided students by dispensing beakers or flasks, acids and bases, and other supplies from the storeroom in the chemistry department.
Many who remember that smile also recall the fragile little birds which George liked to blow out of glass and give away as souvenirs to his visitors or prize customers.
Spry despite his 75 years, George takes a two-mile walk every morning before breakfast. Since retiring, he comes back to the University now and then to visit the storeroom, seeing new faces at the window and perhaps recalling earlier days when he himself answered the call for: "a rubber apron, please, and a bunsen burner."
vacancies have been fille
The position of representative at-large, formerly occupied by Eugenia Hepworth, was left vacant when Miss Hepwort took over the gavel of Mary Jo Cox Youngblood, upon her failure to return to school because of marriage.
The other eight vacancies will be filled by petition, made directly to Miss Hepworth and filed within the next nine days. Petitions are made by the organization to which the resigned member belonged, and the prospective candidate must be from the same district.
The first vacancies appeared at the beginning of the fall semester, when Charles Moffett, Patricia Graham, and Floyd Baker did not return to the University. These positions were filled by Charles Hall, College; Helen Stark, Inter-Dorm Council; and Robert Witt, Inter-Hall Council.
Other vacancies which have been filled were left by Lloyd Eisenhower, Inter-Fraternity council, replaced by Glenn Warner; Sarah Marks, College, filled by Shirley Corlett; Marjorie Bentley, Cooperative Housing association, filled by Carroll McCue.
The nine vacancies yet to be filled were caused by the resignations of Jean Templeton, Fine Arts, Education, and Pharmacy; Leonard Brown, Dean Corder, and Cecil Langford, Engineering and Architecture; Mary Margaret Gaynor, Shirley Corlett, and Jean McIntire, College; and Dolores Custer, Pan-Hellenic association.
Chapel Dedication Set for April 2
Danforth chapel will be formally dedicated April 2 at an all-student convocation in Hoch auditorium, Chancellor Deane W. Malott announced today. Kenneth I. Brown, president of Dennison university, Granville, Ohio, will speak at the dedicatory ceremonies.
Construction of Danforth chapel was made possible through the generosity of William H. Danforth, of St. Louis, his friends, and faculty members. It was given so that students might have a place for meditation and worship on the campus, and also be used for special religious services.
Fourteen Danforth scholarships are given each year on 14 different campuses to graduates to enter student activities and promote religious worship. Jeanne Ackley, Columbus, Ohio, is the Danforth fellow at the University of Kansas. She will participate in the dedication.
